We are tod that Deason is going
round telling the colored voters that he
is not Democrat and never has been.
That is the truth, but in 1885, at the
Democratic beat convention, he en-
rolled himself as Democrat and sub
scribed to the following resolution:
Resoired, That it is understood that
every voter who registered his name
upon the roll of this meeting hereby
pledges his allegianc" 10 the Demo
cratic party, and his support to the
Democratic nominees.
He also subscribed to similar OBJ
legation last year in the Hooker
Barksdale convention, which only
goes to show the character of the man,
and that he is anything that promises
him advantage.
